Lake Gadsden Bottles - 3/26/2008 7:21:54 AM    aridice53   Posts: 150 Joined: 2/20/2008 From: Huntsville, AL Status: offline Hi All, My neighbor found these in Lake Gadsden last summer when the water was at drought level. The Coke has 52-08 embossed in very small numbers on the front, and Gadsden ALA on the bottle. The Grapico with the partial label has Bottled by Orange Crush Grapico Bottling Co. Gadsden, ALA The Grapico missing its label was bottled in Birmingham ALA. I told my neighbor they were probably not worth much because of their condition, but, since I know nothing about ACLs I figured I'd better ask. Thanks for your help. Char Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I can't see yours well enough. I have the one I'm posting that I'm trying to find info on. It's hard to get a good picture of the details on it. Mine only has the embossed label.

On the one with the partial ACL it says "Flavor from the Grapico Co. of America" and doesn't mention how many ozs. On the older one it has the "The Drink of the nation" and "6 1/2 fluid ozs" I no nothing about sodas!! LOL Good luck!! Char (in reply to necie35020) Post #: 4
